Description:

At last, a movie made by and for actors with lots of experience in the service industry. The Waiting Game is a slight movie, but nice enough, and sure to provide a few moments of recognition for actors still slugging away in the trenches. The characters are familiar ones: Lenny, the Actor with the Upscale Girlfriend Who Doesn't Understand His Career; Andi, the Actress Who Is in a Dishonest Relationship; Shannon, the Midwesterner; and of course the Gay Guy. Then there is Dan, the Bitter Failed Actor, and clearly the most fun part--he is awarded the angry interior waiter monologues; the bad, pretentious one-man show; and the actor-blows-up-at-the-insensitive-casting-people monologue. The Waiting Game has nothing you haven't seen before, but it's made with affection and authenticity. Watch it after you've spent the evening in the weeds with a low-tipping eight-top. --Ali Davis
